1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Many diseases, especially cancer, are caused by the abnormal expression of non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs), which regulate gene expression, leading to the development of miRNA-based therapeutics. Synthetic miRNA inhibitors have shown promising efficacy in blocking the activity of aberrant miRNAs that are upregulated in disease-specific pathologies. On the other hand, miRNAs that aid in preventing certain diseases and are reduced in expression in the disease state need different strategies. To tackle this, miRNA mimics, which mimic the activity of endogenous miRNAs, can be delivered for those miRNAs downregulated in different disease states. However, the delivery of miRNA mimics remains a challenge. Here, we report a cationic polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-poly-L-histidine delivery system to deliver miRNA mimics. We chose miR-34a mimics as a proof of concept for miRNA delivery. miR-34a-loaded PLGA-poly-L-histidine nanoparticles (NPs) were formulated and biophysically characterized to analyze the structural properties of miRNA mimic-loaded NPs.
